David SchutzThis is the story of a modern Jonah whom the ravages of World War II have torn from his home, scattering his family across three continents. Returning to Germany, Emmanuel meets his mother, who abandoned her four children during the war, and finds her unmoved, without any sense of guilt.
Stone after stone, Schütz reconstructs his family's story like a master archaeologist.
